By the bursting of water tank con.

ptrsons were killed and several in.
jured at Palatin, Ill. The accident oc.
Cured on the Northwestern road while
a crowd Was standing on the track.
A Southern Oregon mine was
"salted" and sold to an unsuspecting
party for $4,000. Rumor connects
an ex' Portland hotel keeper with the
transaction. The Jackson county
grand jury is looking into the matter.
A terrible gale is reported to have
ragged along the west coast OF New
Foundland, causing serious loss of life
and great destruction to property.
Near Rose Blance two barks went
down at their moorings, and five men
were drowned.
Eastern dispatches state that terri
cylone swept through Missouri, Kansas
and Texas. In Vernon county, Mo-,
thirty houses were destroyed and
fifteen persons killed. The wind was
preceded by hail storm, which done
considerable damage. Many of the
hailstones weighed from three to four
ounces, and some of them measured
nine inches in circumference. They
crashed through roofs, dwellings and
barns, leaving holes through which a
mans arm would pass with ease. The
town of Prescott, Kansas, was literally
wiped out of existence, not single
building being left standing to mark
the site where once was prosperous
and thriving place. So far as learned
fifteen live were lost at that place. 1t
is thought that the loss of life and
property is great in the districts visited
by the cyclone, which have no tele-
graph communication with the out
side world.
News of terrible shipwreck, thirty
miles north of Cape Flattery, on the
Washington Territory coast, has been
received at Victoria through four In
dams who came overland, having
spent ten days in the journey. For
some time past great anxiety has been
felt regarding the schooner Active,
which was overdue. The schooner
was owned by Guttman & Co., of Vic
toria, and was registered at APO tons.
The schooner appears to have been
caught in storm and dashed on the
shore, where she speedily went to
pieces, and all hands undoubtedly
perishlng as far as known Among
those who have persisted are: Mr.
Jake Guttman, one Of the owners,
Captain Gotehamel, Ofa Jackson,
Charles Frederick and Billy Leasing,
besides twenty7eight Indians. The
latter named belong to Chief Kllsor-
mats tribe. Chief Elso Klsormat
himself was on board, the other In
dams being hunters The death of
the chief is tantamount to the exter-
mination of the tribes, and the Kilsor-
mat tribe will soon be extinct. Ac-
cording to the custom of his tribe
all the huts of the unfortunate men
have been burned.
